Abstract

Chapter 11 by Antonio Tencati critically examines corporate reporting. Corporate performance has been conceptualized and measured in multiple forms that traditionally focus on financial and economic aspects while disregarding social, environmental, and governance aspects. The chapter presents and analyzes in detail major initiatives for sustainability evaluation and reporting.

Therefore, it proposes an innovative scheme for stakeholder-based and integrated reporting, the so-called SERS2.
